About this study

Official title: Descriptive Analysis of Non Steroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs Use in Patients Diagnosed With Community Acquired Pneumonia

To investigate exposure to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during outpatient management at the early stage of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) requiring hospital consultation. Non-interventional observational study.

Read the detailed description

Recent data suggests that such exposure to NSAIDs is associated with delay in CAP diagnosis and antibiotic prescription that influence CAP presention and outcome. The investigators' working hypothesis is that NSAIDs use may mask initial symptoms and delay antimicrobial therapy, thus predisposing to worse outcomes. All patients presenting at one of the three following locations (emergency department, ICU or pneumology ward) with a suspicion of community-acquired pneumonia will be screened for eligibility. Exposure or not to NSAIDs will be investigated. Clinical, biological and radioloigcal features and outcome of CAP will be compared with respect to NSAIDs exposure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. binary composite primary endpoint

    presence or absence of one or more of the following : occurrence of at least one pneumonia-related complication; need for ICU admission; prolonged length of hospital stay.

    pneumonia-related complications include: worsening of hypoxemia; need for mechanical ventilation; occurrence or increase of pleural effusion; empyema; occurrence of septic shock;

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. pneumonia severity index

    the pneumonia severity index calculated at inclusion will be compared in exposed and non-exposed to NSAID patients

    Measured: 2 days

  2. CURB score at inclusion

    the CURB score (confusion, blood urea nitrogen, respiratory rate and systolic blood pressure) at inclusion will be compared in exposed and non-exposed to NSAID patients

    Measured: 2 days

  3. duration of antimicrobial therapy

    Measured: 28 days

  4. occurence of a nosocomial infection

    occurrence of nosocomial infections (including nosocomial pneumonia, catheter-related blood stream infection, and urinary tract nosocomial infection) will be compared in exposed and non-exposed to NSAID patients

    Measured: 28 days

  5. 28-day mortality

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Community-acquired Pneumonia, run by Hôpital Louis Mourier at 4 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

binary composite primary endpoint (time frame: 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02523885, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Feb 2016.
